No, I've never been challenged by anybody, but I've heard people complain about people going out more than they should. The other thing I don't get is the outrage about people going somewhere in their cars, perhaps to a second home if they're lucky enough to have one, or to visit family whilst keeping a distance as both Stephen Kinnock and Robert Jenrick did. Nothing wrong there in my opinion.

I can work from home and do most of the time, but just go into the office once in a while for the sake of getting out of the house. It's a 20 minute walk to the station, a ride on an empty tube train and another 20 minute walk the other end. When I'm there, I'm the only person in the building. Bliss.
Wasn’t really listening but I think Sky just said it’ll be the lesser-spotted Priti Patel.
Except if they break down in their car and need roadside assistance or if they cause an accident.
If only it were you doing it Bob. Piece of cake running this isn't it?
Hancock is an utter twat. Fancy saying some health workers are using more PPE than they need whilst others (many!) are crying out for the right equipment. Absolutely not the right sort of thing to be saying whether true or not. Prat.
That’s not the instruction from Dorset Police Col......only your interpretation
Me personally no.....and that emphasises my point. Why am I doing no wrong when sitting on a bench with police walking by (last weekend by the river), whereas someone else has been fined.
As I said.....doesn’t make sense and it seems the law has been passed on to individual officers interpretation....which in my opinion is wrong.
Agreed....and it’s the 1% of dickheads that should be held accountable.
I’d back Bob as Health Secretary to have not run away from a question about how many nurses had died during a ****ing pandemic.
Rozzer propaganda bullshit. Ooh, we put some money in an old bloke's meter... FFS.
**** me, if Patel is going to freeze because a journo has put himself on mute, what the hell is she like in a crisis?

Well people complaining, probably ignorant twats, isn’t the same as a concerted attack on your civil liberties.
But you (and I) are programmed to expect **** from governments, it’s what government does. Since when has **** been consistent? People like us want to get rid of government, don’t we, not say ‘let me sit on a seat in peace and I’m all happy’? Wrong battle I think mate, unless you have changed your perspective and become a ****ing democratic socialist.
We have a collective social contract to try and slow the spread of a disease because we don’t want our health services to implode. We will see if the strategy is correct in time. As individuals part of that contract is restrictions on our personal movement. They are not very enforceable restrictions, and some of them are a bit daft, as the only one that really matters is the two metre rule. Of course I am 100% certain that you two will follow this one rule and as far as I’m concerned the others can be safely ignored as they apply to you. But I am not convinced by any means that everyone else either understands or is committed to following the rules, even the key one (in fact from personal experience I know they are not). So unless you are prepared to vouch for everyone else, which I don’t think you are in a position to do, we need rules and we need at least the pretence that they can be enforced. Of course they should be explained better and be applied more consistently, but I’m afraid that though I trust you guys to exercise common sense I don’t trust everyone to.

Just struck me that Priti Patel talks a bit like Martin Jarvis doing Just William. ‘Searchin’ and pursuin’
Nothing else from this presser has lodged in my transom.
